Mom is having an average day today. No big side effects or anything, but she is extremely tired. This matches what she experienced after her first treatment and if it holds true, she will be fatigued like this for the better part of the next week to ten days.
After that, about a week before her third treatment, things should improve.
She is eating well, and continues to have a good appetite. These are good things and should help her recover from the chemotherapy that much faster.
Mentally, she is about the same. I told her today that she was good at using lots of words and not actually saying anything. She does that when she is trying to get a thought across. Dad and I are used to it, but for anyone who doesn't visit with her regularly, take note.
Our next appointment with the doctor's office is Thursday, for lab work. Should be a fast visit.
We continue to be so appreciative of the people, especially from Region XI, that are helping out. Thank you.

Norma,
ReplyDeleteI continue to be so impressed with your progress and your stick-to-it attitude. Keep up the good work.
Blessings,

Dear Norma, We are waiting for snow. Three fronts back to back are due in northern New Mexico this week. Matt was coming to visit, but we think it's too risky. He might get in okay and not out or vice versa.
ReplyDeleteWe will be back in Ft. Worth around the 21st of Feb. in time for me to get income tax done and to celebrate Adrianna's and Talia's birthdays. We hope the weather will be cooperating then.
I continue to read Mike's terrific posts daily and feel I am almost there with you and your family. You are one tough cookie! Way to go, girl...
